is there really a diff between white rice and brown rice

[Miramonti]

I'm not a fan of the brown rice. Something about the texture is off.

Not everyone can handle the whole grain ruggedness of brown rice, and prefer the bran and germ stripped away before it gets polished nice and pretty before eating.

Multi-grain rice > Brown rice

Multi-grain rice > Brown rice

fixed...

[a bunch of sh!t added to] rice > Brown rice.

Me do like well.

I was confused by the "multigrain rice" too. Then I googled:

Apparently folks have added a ton of non-rice stuff (barley, oats and shit) to brown rice and call it "multi-grain rice".

This isn't exactly just rice anymore then.

Yes, it's not just rice which is actually a pretty good thing imo than just eating plain rice whether white or brown. As for the naming convention, I don't see a problem with it.

Brown rice is almost like having like barley or oats compared to white rice, particularly white sticky rice. I've learned to like brown rice for its own uses but its not my favorite rice.

We've been using Haiga for a while though and its pretty tasty. It has a bit more texture and flavor going on than white rice but not as 'rough' as brown.
